What to do and see in Canton of Graubunden, Swiss Alps: The Best History Museums

November 10, 2021 Almeta Stockton

Quaint alpine villages and great skiing entice travelers to the Grisons. The sparsely populated region of eastern Switzerland contains the source of the Rhine and Inn rivers, 140 square miles of glaciers and dense pine forests. Join the ski action at the resorts of St. Moritz, Davos and Arosa or stake a lofty claim with a visit to Juf, which boasts the highest altitude of any inhabited village in the Alps. In summer, take a hike through the Engadine Valley in the unspoiled beauty of Swiss National Park.

Heimatmuseum Davos

Das Heimatmuseum hat eine lange Geschichte. Der Weg von der einfachen Walser Siedlung über die verschiedenen Auswanderungswellen und den Aufstieg des Tales zur Hoffnung Tuberkulosekranker aus aller Welt bis zum Umbau zur heutigen modernen Sport- und Kongressstadt war lang und bewegt. Dokumente, Bilder und Objekte machen die Lokalgeschichte sichtbar.

Engadine Museum

The Museum of Engadine Culture was built in 1906, on the initiative of Riet Campell, a passionate collector. It looks at first glance like an age-old Engadine house. The outside has all the typical features: the sgraffito-style door and window frames, the Romansh inscriptions, and the traditional oriel window. In fact, the house is little more than a hundred years old and was constructed as museum by the famous architect Nicolaus Hartmann Junior of St. Moritz. The panelled living rooms, or stüvas as they are known locally, have come from farmhouses and village houses in the Engadine and surrounding valleys. They give you a wonderful insight into the lifestyles of affluent local families over the last five centuries.

Museum Alpin

Reviewed By Swissbulgarican - Lausanne, Switzerland

Absolutely worth the visit here! You get real insight into the people and industrieds surrounding Pontresina over the last few centuries. Cool mountain climbing artifacts, pictures, and films document this. The museum is a very old building showing how life was a few hundred years ago. Interesting as well for all aged-children.

Nietzsche-Haus

Reviewed By adelaidedietrich - Madrid, Spain

Limited opening hours aside one simply must visit this little almost cliched house. See for yourself. Well kept up. Only needs 20 minutes.
